Abstract:
The Artificial Intelligence Working Group (AIWG) is dedicated to advancing the governance capabilities of the Jupiter DAO by introducing sophisticated AI-driven solutions. Our primary objective is to develop and deploy the Jupiter Horizon AI and Project Specialized AIs—tools that assist DAO/community members by providing relevant information, answering questions, and offering guidance on navigating the Jupiter platform and its projects.
By addressing current challenges such as engagement gaps in the middle of the funnel, information overload, and uninformed voting, the AIWG seeks to enhance transparency, increase community engagement, and build long-term trust within the ecosystem.
This proposal outlines our strategy for achieving these goals, starting with the creation of a prototype and progressing towards full integration within the Jupiter platform.
The AIWG invites the DAO to support this initiative, explore, and provide feedback on the prototype, as we strive to elevate the effectiveness of decentralized governance.
Introduction
The Artificial Intelligence Working Group (AIWG) is poised to play a transformative role in enhancing participation within the Jupiter DAO. By developing advanced AI-driven solutions such as the Jupiter Horizon AI and Project Specialized AIs, the AIWG aims to address current challenges in the DAO’s decision-making process, including engagement gaps in the middle of the funnel, information overload, and uninformed voting. These initiatives align with the broader goals of the Jupiter DAO, which seeks to create a more transparent, informed, and engaged community.
The inspiration for the AIWG stems from my own journey within the Jupiter ecosystem. As I explored the various projects and navigated the complexities of the DAO, I personally experienced the challenges of information overload and the difficulty of getting properly informed. As an avid ChatGPT user, I realized how beneficial it would have been to have a chat-based tool that could streamline the process of learning about the projects and making informed decisions. This experience led me to envision a working group that could develop AI solutions to make participation in the DAO more accessible and effective for everyone.
The AIWG is vital for Jupiter DAO, improving the quality of participation in voting and decision-making. By offering precise, timely insights, AIWG empowers the community to make informed decisions, fostering a more resilient decentralized organization.
Live Prototype Demo by Kash and Meow: Jupiter Horizon in Action
We’re thrilled to announce that during a recent Planetary Call, Kash and Meow gave a live demo of the Jupiter Horizon prototype, and the results were impressive! They explored its real-time ability to navigate the Jupiter ecosystem and provide accurate answers to complex questions. Both Kash and Meow were amazed at how well it performed.
This can be further seen in the recent tweet thread by the JupCatdets, where they showcased several cool ways to interact with the Jupiter Horizon AI, guiding users on how to maximize its utility.
Problem Statement
The effectiveness of the Jupiter DAO relies heavily on informed and active participation from its members. However, several key challenges currently hinder the decision-making process and overall engagement within the DAO:
- Engagement Gaps in the Middle of the Funnel:
- While Jupiter excels at attracting new users (“top of the funnel”), converting these newcomers into active, informed, and engaged DAO participants (“middle of the funnel”) remains a significant challenge. Many users express initial interest but struggle to transition into more involved roles within the community (Catdet&CoC). This issue has been identified by the CWG (as noted by Slorg and Kemosabe) and highlighted on the August 29th planetary call. The challenge revolves around helping newcomers understand and explore the Jupiter DAO and the broader Jupiter ecosystem, thereby increasing their engagement and participation.
- Language Barriers Limiting Participation
- As the Jupiter DAO continues to expand its global community, language barriers pose a significant challenge to participation and engagement. Many community members, especially those less proficient in English, may struggle to fully understand proposals, governance decisions, or even general platform documentation. This limitation can result in reduced participation from non-English speakers, hindering their ability to contribute meaningfully to the DAO and creating an uneven playing field for informed decision-making.
- Information Overload:
- Members are often overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information distributed across multiple channels. This can make it difficult to focus on relevant data, leading to potential confusion and less-informed decisions.
- Limited Access to Tailored Insights:
- Existing project documentation often lacks personalization, leaving members without the specific insights they need to fully understand the proposals they are voting on. This gap in tailored information can result in decisions that do not fully consider all relevant factors.
- Misinformation and Rumors:
- The decentralized nature of information flow can sometimes result in the spread of misinformation. Without access to reliable and verified information, members’ decisions might be swayed by unverified claims, impacting the trust and integrity of the voting process.
These challenges directly affect community trust and engagement. When members struggle to stay informed or feel overwhelmed by the voting process, they are less likely to participate actively. This, in turn, erodes confidence in the DAO’s ability to reflect the true will of its members and undermines the integrity of its governance processes.
By addressing these issues, the AI Working Group (AIWG) aims to empower the Jupiter community with the tools and insights needed to make more informed and impactful contributions, ultimately enhancing the DAO’s effectiveness and fostering a more engaged and trusting community.
Proposed Solution: AIWG
Overview of the Solution
The Artificial Intelligence Working Group (AIWG) is dedicated to enhancing informed participation within the Jupiter DAO by developing two core AI-driven solutions:
-
Jupiter Horizon AI: The Jupiter Horizon AI assists DAO/community members by providing information, answering questions, and offering guidance on navigating and using the Jupiter platform. Users can ask about platform features, project statuses, governance decisions, or tools available, and get clear, actionable responses that help them engage more effectively. By centralizing and synthesizing relevant information—the good kind of centralization—Jupiter Horizon helps users easily access the data they need to make informed decisions. For those eager to experience its capabilities, the prototype is already available for testing.
Curious about its capabilities? Ask it directly! Engage with the prototype for a firsthand experience of how it helps users navigate Jupiter.
-
Project Specialized AIs: These tailored AIs are developed specifically for projects that are seeking to launch on the LFG Launchpad within the DAO. Each Project Specialized AI aggregates and analyzes data related to its respective project, offering members detailed, context-specific insights. These AIs are designed to answer project-specific questions, help members understand complex details, and ultimately empower them to vote with a deeper understanding of each proposal. This ensures that projects selected for launch have the informed backing of the community.
Addressing the Problem Statement
The AIWG directly addresses the challenges identified in the problem statement by leveraging AI technologies to improve the quality of information available to DAO members:
- Addressing Engagement Gaps in the Middle of the Funnel: The AIWG is designed to help users, especially those new to crypto, go from zero to understanding what the Jupiter DAO is. By leveraging the Jupiter Horizon AI, we aim to provide a personalized, “1 on 1 onboarding” experience onto the Jupiter platform. This AI will deliver clear, relevant insights that guide users through the complexities of the Jupiter ecosystem, enabling them to transition from the middle of the funnel to the bottom of the funnel and become actively involved in the community.
- Combatting Information Overload: Both Jupiter Horizon and the Project Specialized AIs streamline the vast amount of information available, presenting only the most relevant and actionable insights to users. This reduces the burden on members to sift through excessive data, allowing them to focus on what truly matters for each decision.
- Breaking Through the Language Barrier: To combat the language barrier, the Jupiter Horizon AI offers multilingual capabilities, allowing users to interact in their preferred language. Whilst it provides real-time translations and clarifications of key documents, it also helps users grasp the meaning and nuances. This enables non-English speakers to fully engage with the content, fostering a more inclusive and informed community.
- Providing Tailored Insights: The AI solutions developed by the AIWG cater to the specific needs of each member. Whether it’s understanding the nuances of a particular project or getting a broad overview of the Jupiter platform, these AIs provide personalized, in-depth insights that help members make well-informed decisions. Additionally, the AI can break down and explain complex aspects of projects in clear, understandable language, making it easier for members to grasp difficult concepts.
- Countering Misinformation and Rumors: By centralizing verified and accurate information, the AI tools help mitigate the spread of misinformation. Members will have access to fact-checked and reliable data, ensuring that their decisions are based on truth rather than unverified claims. This not only enhances the quality of voting outcomes but also restores and strengthens trust within the community.
Milestone Achievement: 400+ Chats!
The Jupiter Horizon prototype has already handled over 400+ chats, answering questions and guiding community members through the Jupiter ecosystem. It’s just the beginning of how this AI will transform decision-making within the DAO!
Note on AI Hallucinations: It is important to acknowledge that while the AIWG is committed to providing accurate and reliable information, AI technologies can sometimes produce information that may be incorrect—a phenomenon known as “hallucination.” We are dedicated to minimizing these instances through continuous refinement and rigorous evaluation. For more details on the techniques we use to combat hallucinations, please refer to the Technical Explanation. However, users should remain aware of this inherent risk.
Long-Term Vision
The AIWG is not just a short-term initiative; it is integral to the long-term vision of the Jupiter DAO. As the DAO continues to grow and evolve, the need for informed, active participation will only become more critical. By embedding AI-driven tools into the fabric of the DAO’s governance process, the AIWG will ensure that the community remains engaged, informed, and empowered.
Over time, the AIWG envisions these tools becoming indispensable assets for the Jupiter community. As they evolve and improve, they will continue to enhance the overall effectiveness of the DAO, fostering a culture of trust, transparency, and informed decision-making. By addressing the challenges of today, the AIWG is laying the groundwork for a more resilient and adaptive Jupiter ecosystem in the future.
Roadmap
